Too Much Shaving Water. A cer
tain minister, having become much addict
ed to drink, hU presbytery had to interfere
and get the minister to sign the pledge.
This the minister did, and promised that
he would nerer again take drink under any
pretence whatever. The minister certain
ly kept his word ; but the result was that
the sudden reaction proved too .much for
him, and he took so ill that the doctor bad
to be sent for. The doctor knew the habits
of the man well, and informed the minister
that be must just begin and take his toddy
again. This the minister said he could
cot do, as he had taken the pledge in pres
ence of the presbytery. The doctor replied
that he might get a botUe or two quietly,
and that nobody but himself (the minister)
and the housekeeper would know anything
about it. 'Man,' says the minister, 'my
housekeeper is worse than all the presby
tery put together, so that would not no.'
However, it was arranged that the doc
tor was to bring in the whiskey and sugar
and that the minister was to make up the
toddy in the bed-room with the hot water
that he always got for shaving purposes in
the morning. The result was, the minister
got speedily well, and one day, on going
out, the doctor said to the ministers house
keeper, 4Wetl, Margaret, your minister is
quite himself again.'
'There's nae doot aboot that sir,' she
replied, 'he's quite weel in body ; but there
something gane far wrang wi' his upper
story.'
'What's wrong there, Margaret ?' asked
the doctor.
Weel, sir, I binna ken, but askes for
8haviu' water six and even times i' the
day.'
Mark Twain on Mosquitoes. Mark
Twain, in a letter to the in venter of a mos
quito net, talks in this way about the only
thing worth talking about, now that the
third term is gone : There is nothing that
a just and right-feeling man rejoices iu
more than to see a mosquito imposed on
and put down and brow beaten and aggra
vated, and this ingenious contrivance will
do it. And it is a rare thing to worry a
fly with, too. A fly will stand off and
curse this invention till language utterly
fails him. I have seen them do it hun
dreds of times. I like Iodine in the air on
the back porch io summer, and so I would
not be without this portable net for any
thing. When you get it hoisted the flies
have to wait for ihe second table. We
shall sec the summer day come when we
shall sit under our nets in church and
slumber peacelully, while the discomfited
flies club together and take it out of the
minister. There are heaps of ways of get
ting priceless enjoyment out of these
charming things, if I had time to point
them out and dilate on them a little.
How he won Her. A young couple
were occupyiug a rustic scat in Prospect
Paik. one evening last week, sad from the
expression of the masculine representatives
face, it was evident that he was 'a goner'
drifted, as it were, over the great
psychological Xiagara of affection, aud
was even then being dizzily whirled about
in the frothy whirlpool of sentiment. The
swimming swans had no charm for him :
the eagles were a nothing ; and be did not
notice even the white bear.
Oh, do be mine,' he said attempting to
draw her a little nearer his end of the seat.
8he made herself rigid, and heaved a
sigh :
'I'll be a good man and give up all bad
habits,' he urged.
No reply.
'I'll never driuk another drop,' he con
tinued. Still unrelenting sat the object of his
adoration.
And give up chewing'

Cold as ever.

She only shook her head.
'And give you a diamond engagement
ring,' be added, in desperation.
Then the maiden lifted her drooping
eyes to his, and leaning her frizzes on bis
shoulder, tremblingly murmured into his
ravished ear :
H) Edward, you you are so good !'
And their tbey sat, until the soft arms
of night that dusky nurse of the world
had folded them from sight pondering,
planning, thinking she of the diamond
ring, he of how on earth he was to get it.
Wrong Kind of a Shirt. It was a
respectable looking colored man who
brought his washing home.
'Your wife is a good washer woman, isn't
she 1" said the young batchelor to the o!ite
and obsequious man.
'Yaaa, sir, she commonly always gives
satisfaction,' replied the husband of the
laundress.
'Well,' resumed the young batchelor in
his blandest and most insinuating roauner,
'You can tell your wife that I esteem her
very highly as one possessing many wo
manly and christian virtuen.a domestic gem
and household ornament, a social luminary
and mora! beacon, an exemplary christian
a gentle, loving wife, a washerwoman
among 10,000, and altogether lovely, but
there's one objection.'
What's dat sar ?' inquired the smiling
African, who had been showiug two rows
of spotless ivory and a cavernous opening
of the head, while his wife was being so
extra vagently eulogized.
What's dat, boss?'
'She puts all the starch in my socks,
and uoue in my shirts ; she washes or irons
all the buttons off, and forgets to replace
them ; exchanges .my cloathes tor those of
some other patron, and, if you'll look at
this (holding up a garment), you'll see how
inconvenient it would be to wear either
pautaloons, cuffs or collars with such a
shitt as she sends me. It may be that she
cuts of the arms and color to make the
tail longer, but I can't see what the deuce
she should want to ruffle the edges for.'
The darkey looked a little disgusted as
he wrapped the garmeut up to take it home
and he only said ; 'Idea sending a man
dat kin' o' shirt!'
A Milwaukee belle, attending a theatre
complained in one of the set ues that the
light was so dim to show the acting prop
erly. 'Won't you try this glass f ' asked
the escort, handing her his lorgnette.
Ilastely covering the suspicious looking
object with her hankcrchicf, she placed it
to her lips, toot a long pull, and handed
it back io disgust, saying, 'Why, there
ain't a drop in it !'

TTIE LIGHT RUNNING "DOMESTIC."
The "Domestic."
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machine in all its parts and processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with Its action is
very quickly acquired, and It needs hardly any
practice of special skill in the operator.
The enperior advantages obtained in the "Do
mestic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gpar Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction.
C. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say that the "Domestic" Is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit ; bnt we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many
excellences that rcuder it decidedly mijKrior to
any other Machine now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This Is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence ber com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
liecome a pleasant exercke ol skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgey;; she will have
tbe time and strength to add beamy and elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
conteut herself with bare utility.

Perhaps at no period of christian history from
the days in which Christ astonished the multi
tude at the pool of Bethcsda, has such an excite
ment prevailed among the sick as is now created
by the accidental discovery of a fountain of min
eral -water which beyond cavil eclipses the whole
fraternity of the learned faculty in restoring to
original health almost every form of chronic dis
ease. Finding it impossible to accommodate tbe
sick, here the proprietors propose to furnish the
concentrated medicine prepared by simply reduc
ing the water by evaporation into a fine powder
or Mass, which poeesses ail tbe wonderful virtues
of tbe water in a cheap and convenient form. The
Mass is a floe tonic, alterative aud absorbent and
Is especially useful to ladies suffering from irreg
ularities and affections peculiar to their sex. It
has been universally approved and endorsed by

Raise More Fowls. Io Tiew of the fact that
grasshoppers and other insect plagnes are spread
lug over tbe country from the west, and that
they generally accompany a dry summer and
may be expected to reach this State soon, it
would be well, writes a correspondent, for farm
ers and all who can do so, to raise many chick
ens, turkeys and other domestic fowls, which,
like the birds, are among the best destroyers of
insect life. The shooting of all Insectivorous
birds should also be prevented.' Even crows will
do more good by destroying potato bugs and
grasshoppers than la generally supposed. An
instance is related of a flock of crows having
cleared of potato bugs a patch of potatoes
planted near tbe edge of a wood, and it Is sug
gested that a dead snake or any small carcass
placed near by would draw them to any potato
patcu not too close to tbe farm buildings.
Our readers will no doubt remember the ac
count published last year of a vast army of
black caterpillars in California being destroyed
and tbe crops saved by turning into tbe field two
thousand turkeys, collected wherever they could
De fonnd, for that especial purpose. The small
grasshoppers are increasing in numbers most re
markably every year, even in this section, and
domestic fowls will be found a valuable aid in
their suppression. Tbe wise law against the
destruction of insectivorous birds have already
checked the alarming increase of caterpillars,
and largely augmented the yearly fruit crop in
this region ; and now, as we have destroyed
nearly all the woods in which the game birds
found shelter, we must defend ourselves against
the largest Insect pest by raising armies of do
mestic fowls. Every one owning a small lot of
ground can help, and they will generally more
than pay for the trouble and expense of keeping
them. Car. .V. T. Herald.
Swine in Scvxer. A recent writer well says
that farmers have almost ceased to regard tha
bog as a grass eating animal, and gradually
como to look upon him iu the light of a family
scavenger, to be fed upon swill, sonr milk, and
scraps In summer ; corn in winter. To keep a
hog in good health is a necessity if it is desired
to fatten him at the least possible expense, and
to keep him in good health it U necessary that
he should have frequent dietary changes in sum
mer. It will not do to keep the bog continually
upon grain ; but wise discretion must be used.
By care and judicious managemt it will be found
possible not only to keep swine in good condition,
bnt to add flesh cheaper in the summer than iu
the fall. A word of caution is necessary, bow
ever. It will not do to crowd th6 swine in sum
mer, and the cheaper addition of tbe pound may
be all too dear at tbe difference between the va
lue of the hog living and the value of the hog -dead
of cholera. Give clover, turnips, beets,
and other green food to keep the stomach In
tone, and grain to fatten ; but see that no haste
Is made. Then when the new crop of corn is
soft and tender, your swine, stiong and healthy,
will be ready for it and not a quart will go '
where it will not do tbe most good.
Watering Trees. As a general rule, water-
lug young trees in summer does more harm than
good, by erusting the surface, without reaching
tbe roots ; and even if the roots are reached, the
relief is only temporary, unless tbe watering is -regularly
repeated. There is a great want of
appreciation of the amount of water required
for trees by those who apply this remedy. A
young tree four or five feet high. If growing
well, soon throws out roots several feet on each
side. If these roots are only three feet long,
the circle of roots will be six feet io diameter,
and at a depth of only one foot there would be
no less than twenty-seven cubic feet of earth to -saturate
with water, requiring for one-fourth
the bulk nearly one hogshead for a single water
ing. It Is true that a young tree just set out '
may haye had its roots cot much shorter, but as
new ones are to be quickly thrown out into the
soil as It commences grow;b, a narrow watering
will do bnt little good. Clean, mellow culture
is better than all tbe watering that can be given
or wide and heavy mulching if cultivation is
Impracticable. Country Gentleman.
Growing Celery. Walter Elder, of Phila-.
delphia, Pa., writes in the Practical Farmer, ad
vising inland growers of celery to plant in
trenches, and he gives some very good reasons
for the advice. Flat planting will do near tbe .
sea coast, but will not answer In the hotter,
dryer atmosphere inland. Celery delights in
moisture, and wherever possible young plants
should be shaded during tbe heat of the sun.
Making trenches or furrows east and west, and
not too deep, the banks of the trenches will
afford some shade. Another care should te
taken :
Celery needs very rich soil, but It is better to
enrich it with well composted manure rather
than that undergoing decomposition, as tbe lat
ter only heats and dries the roots when they
"" tag
